Bloomsbury presents The Unicorn Quest by Kamilla Benko, read by Jennifer Woodward.

An enchanting, exciting fantasy about a real-world girl searching for her sister in a land full of magic and strange creatures, blending the timeless feel of A Wrinkle in Time with Frozen’s powerful themes of identity, enchantment, and sisterhood.

Claire Martinson still worries about her older sister Sophie, who battled a mysterious illness last year. But things are back to normal as they move into Windermere Manor . . . until the sisters climb a strange ladder in a fireplace and enter the magical land of Arden.

There, they find a world in turmoil. The four guilds of magic no longer trust each other, the beloved unicorns have disappeared, and terrible wraiths roam freely. Scared, the girls return home. But when Sophie vanishes in the night, it will take all of Claire's courage to climb back up the ladder, find her sister, and uncover the unicorns' greatest secret.

Critic reviews

Fans of magic and fantasy, especially those who love Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time . . . [or] Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, can’t miss this debut
Hand to readers who love Narnia.
Rich worldbuilding and high stakes make this a quest worth taking with a protagonist who grows by facing her fears.
Enter and be transported to a lush land full of intrigue, danger, and thrilling magic! Benko’s sharp storytelling will keep readers madly flipping the pages in this new, timeless adventure. Spectacular!
An adventure-quest brimming with magic and heart. Benko reaches the child in all of us who secretly hopes that a door is never just a door. Mesmerizing.
The Unicorn Quest draws you into a richly imagined alternate world, keeps you on edge with clever twists and turns, then leaves you breathless as it gallops to its sensational climax!
Filled with wondrous surprises, fascinating magic, and appealing characters, it hits all the right notes, and I loved every second of it!
Utterly delightful! Taps into the wonderful childhood fantasy of finding a secret door to another world.
As dazzling and richly imagined as anything I’ve read in years. The Unicorn Quest promises to be a must-read.

It’s was great for my Daughter (8). She found it easy to follow and loved it too much she didn’t want to turn it off at night. Great bartering tool.

Daughter really enjoyed
